theresa may

Conservative politician Theresa May became British Prime Minister in July 2016 after predecessor David Cameron resigned following the result of the EU Referendum that summer. Mrs May called a snap General Election in April 2017. The election on June 8 saw the Tories lose their majority in the House of Commons despite the party winning more seats and votes than any other, with Mrs May continuing as PM. Her previous political roles include Home Secretary (May 2010 - July 2016), Minister for Women and Equalities (May 2010 - September 2012) and Chairman of the Conservative Party (July 2002 - November 2003). Mrs May is MP for Maidenhead in Kent.
